Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a game server and a program.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The game for finding mistakes is one of the games that has been popular since a long time ago, because it is simple both in terms of making the game and in terms of rules, and it can also be a brain teaser.
[0003]
This mistake search game has been conventionally performed using an image drawn on paper, but recently it has also been played as an arcade game. In these games, a reference image that is a reference for searching for mistakes and a wrong image are arranged, and a player generally plays a game while comparing them (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
[0004]
On the other hand, there are various games in the above-mentioned arcade games. For example, car games, soccer games, baseball games, and other sports games and fighting games are mainstream.
[0005]
In these games, there are those in which the highlight scenes in the game are replayed as in the case of actual TV relay etc., and the player can enjoy watching what operation he / she has performed (for example, , See Patent Document 2).

[0058]
When the answer data is received, the server 10 performs a game result matching process (step A12). The game result collation process refers to a process of collating whether or not the answer data transmitted from the terminal device 20 is a correct answer and calculating a score.
[0059]
When the game result matching process is completed, the game result is transmitted from the server 10 to the terminal device 20.
[0060]
As described above, in the error search game system according to the present embodiment, data and signals are transmitted and received while the server 10 and the terminal device 20 are connected via a communication line.
[0061]
[Server processing]
Next, processing performed by the server 10 configuring the error search game system according to the present embodiment will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.
[0062]
First, the CPU 42 of the server 10 executes a process for specifying a player (step S11).
[0063]
The process of specifying a player is a process of determining whether or not the player is a registered player based on information (authentication number data) specifying the player transmitted from the terminal device 20. As expected. In this process, if the player who performs the mistake-finding game in the terminal device 20 is a registered player, the player is specified, and if the player is not yet registered, a new registration is performed. To. When the process of specifying the player is completed, the CPU 42 moves the process to step S12.
[0064]
Next, the CPU 42 executes a process for referring to the player data (step S12).
[0065]
The player data refers to data recorded for each player specified in the previous step S11, and specifically, as shown in FIG. In this player data, as shown in FIG. 6, together with the authentication number data indicating each player, the number of times the player has used the error finding game (number of times used), the player's age, gender, and prize The number of acquisitions is recorded.
[0066]
Such player data is stored in the hard disk 46 of the server 10. Moreover, in this embodiment, although the player is managed about the item shown in FIG. 6, it is not restricted to these in this invention.
[0067]
When the process of referring to the player data ends, the CPU 42 moves the process to step S13.
[0068]
Next, the CPU 42 executes a process for setting the difficulty level (step S13).
[0069]
“Difficulty” refers to an evaluation using the ease of guiding correct answers as an index in a mistake-finding game. The “difficulty level” used in the present embodiment is not expressed as a specific numerical value, but is evaluated based on an empirical rule.
[0070]
In the process of this step, the server 10 of the present embodiment sets the difficulty level according to the player based on the content of the player data referred to in the previous step S12. Details of the difficulty level setting process will be described later. When the difficulty level setting process ends, the CPU 42 moves the process to step S14.
[0071]
Next, the CPU 42 executes a game control process (step S14).
[0072]
The game control process refers to a process in which a control signal and data are transmitted from the server 10 to the terminal device 20 based on the difficulty level set in the previous step S13, and the entire error search game is controlled. is there. The game control process may be performed in a state where the server 10 and the terminal device 20 are connected via a communication line, or a game program prepared in the server 10 is downloaded from the terminal device 20. You may make it use. When the process for controlling the game ends, the CPU 42 shifts the process to step S15.
[0073]
Next, the CPU 42 executes a process for collating game results (step S15).
[0074]
The process of collating game results refers to the process of collating the answer of the error-finding game transmitted from the terminal device 20 with the correct answer prepared in the server 10 and calculating the score. Moreover, the process which transmits the collated result and the calculated score with respect to the terminal device 20 is also included.
[0075]
The CPU 42 records the answer data from the terminal device 20 received via the communication interface 45 in the RAM 44, collates with the correct answer data read from the hard disk 46, and determines whether the answer is correct. When it is determined that the answer is correct, the CPU 42 calculates a score related to the correct answer.
[0076]
Here, in the error search game system of the present embodiment, the score related to the correct answer is calculated based on the criterion of whether or not there is an answer. However, in the present invention, the present invention is not limited to this. The score may be changed according to the derived speed, that is, the number of reproductions of the reference image and the wrong image.
[0077]
Further, the calculated score is transmitted to the terminal device 20 via the communication interface 45 in response to an instruction from the CPU 42. Specifically, it is displayed on the display device 65 of the terminal device 20 together with a message “Congratulations on obtaining XX!”. In the case of using a wrong game system in which the player can obtain a prize according to the score, a message such as “I have won △△. Congratulations!” May be used.
[0078]
When the above processing ends, the CPU 42 immediately ends this subroutine.
[0079]
[Difficulty level setting process]
Next, the difficulty level setting subroutine called in step S13 in FIG. 5 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0080]
First, the CPU 42 executes a process for setting a prize (step S21).
[0081]
The process of setting a prize refers to a process of setting a prize that is likely to match the age and sex of the identified player based on the player data referenced in the previous step S12 (see FIG. 5). It is. In the error search game system of the present embodiment, when the player correctly answers the error search game, scores and prizes can be obtained, and both of these may be given to the player. Or may be given to the player. When the processing for setting a prize is completed, the CPU 42 shifts the processing to step S22.
[0082]
Next, a process of determining whether or not the usage count is greater than 30 is executed (step S22).
[0083]
“Number of times of use” refers to the number of times a player has used the error-finding game system of the present embodiment. Specifically, an item of “number of times of use” of player data recorded on the hard disk 46 (Refer to FIG. 6).
[0084]
The CPU 42 refers to the numerical data recorded in the “usage count” item of the player from the hard disk 46 and compares it with a numerical value of 30. If an affirmative result is obtained in this step, this means that “the player frequently uses the mistake finding game”, and at this time, the CPU 42 executes the process of step S23. On the other hand, if a negative result is obtained in this step, this means that “the player does not frequently use the error finding game”, and at this time, the CPU 42 executes the process of step S25. .
[0085]
In the present embodiment, a numerical value of 30 is used as a standard for measuring the frequency of the player using the error search game system. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the administrator of the error search game system. Can be set to a desired value.
[0086]
Next, the CPU 42 executes a process for shortening the switching time (step S23).
[0087]
The “switching time” refers to the time for switching between the reference image that is the reference for the mistake search game and the wrong image. FIG. 8 shows a display example when the reference image and the wrong image are displayed on the display device 65 of the terminal device 20. FIG. 8A shows a display example of the reference image, and FIG. 8B shows a display example of the wrong image. These images are displayed alternately on the display device 65 of the terminal device 20.
[0088]
In FIG. 8, the reference image and the error image are drawn as if they were still images, but it is assumed that the error search game of this embodiment is played by a moving image.
[0089]
In this step, the interval at which these are alternately displayed is shortened so that the correct answer can be easily derived for the player. The CPU 42 sets the switching time by shortening it, and controls the display of the reference image and the wrong image based on it. When the switching time shortening process ends, the CPU 42 shifts the process to step S24.
[0090]
Next, the CPU 42 executes processing for setting a hint image (step S24).
[0091]
The “hint image” is an image in which a mark is added around the erroneous part so that the player can easily derive the correct answer. FIG. 9 shows a display example of the hint image. In FIG. 9, a circle indicates which part of the error image in FIG. 8B is incorrect with respect to the reference image in FIG. The player plays a mistake searching game while referring to the hint image.
[0092]
The hint image is recorded on the hard disk 46 in the same manner as the image file of the error finding game, and is displayed based on an instruction from the CPU 42. When the processing for setting the hint image is completed, the CPU 42 immediately ends this subroutine.
[0093]
By performing the processing from step S22 to step S24, the mistake search game system of this embodiment refers to the usage frequency of the player who uses it, It is possible to reduce the difficulty level of the game.
[0094]
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S22 that the usage count does not exceed 30, the CPU 42 executes a process for determining whether or not the prize acquisition count / use count is greater than 0.05 (step S22). S25).
[0095]
In the process of this step, the CPU 42 calculates the number of times the prize has been acquired / used, and compares it with 0.05, which is the reference value, to determine the magnitude of the frequency at which the player has acquired the prize. Specifically, the CPU 42 reads out the numerical data recorded in the item “number of uses” in the table shown in FIG. 6 and the numerical data recorded in the item “number of times of free gift”, and gives the prize from the value. A process of calculating the number of acquisitions / uses is performed and compared with a reference value of 0.05.
[0096]
If an affirmative result is obtained in this step, this means that the player has a high frequency of prize acquisition. At this time, the CPU 42 shifts the processing to step S23. On the other hand, if a negative result is obtained in this step, this means that the player has a low frequency of acquiring the prize, and at this time, the CPU 42 shifts the processing to step S26.
[0097]

Next, the CPU 42 executes a game control process (step S64).
[0207]
The game control process refers to a process of transmitting a control signal and data from the server 10 to the mobile phone 30 on the basis of the difficulty level set in the previous step S63, and controlling the entire error search game. is there. This game control process may be performed in a state where the server 10 and the mobile phone 30 are connected via a communication line, or a game program prepared in the server 10 is downloaded from the mobile phone 30. You may make it use. When the process for controlling the game ends, the CPU 42 shifts the process to step S65.
[0208]
Next, the CPU 42 executes a process for collating game results (step S65).
[0209]
The process of collating game results refers to the process of collating the answer to the error finding game transmitted from the mobile phone 30 with the correct answer prepared in the server 10 and calculating the score. Moreover, the process which transmits the collated result and the calculated score with respect to the mobile telephone 30 is also included.
[0210]
The CPU 42 records the answer data from the mobile phone 30 received via the communication interface 45 in the RAM 44 and collates with the correct answer data read from the hard disk 46 to determine whether the answer is correct. When it is determined that the answer is correct, the CPU 42 calculates a score related to the correct answer.
[0211]
Here, in the error search game system of the present embodiment, the score related to the correct answer is calculated based on the criterion of whether or not there is an answer. However, in the present invention, the present invention is not limited to this. The score may be changed according to the derived speed, that is, the number of reproductions of the reference image and the wrong image.
[0212]
Further, the calculated score is transmitted to the mobile phone 30 through the communication interface 45 in response to an instruction from the CPU 42. Specifically, it is displayed on the display unit 54 of the mobile phone 30 together with a message “Congratulations on obtaining XX!”. In the case of using a wrong game system in which the player can obtain a prize according to the score, a message such as “I have won △△. Congratulations!” May be used.
[0213]
When the above processing ends, the CPU 42 immediately ends this subroutine.
[0214]
[Mobile phone processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 19, processing performed in the mobile phone 30 will be described.
[0215]
First, the CPU 51 of the mobile phone 30 executes a process of determining whether an image has been received (step S71).
[0216]
An image refers to a reference image that is used in a mistake finding game and serves as a reference for finding a mistake, and a wrong image. In the present embodiment, these images are moving images as described above, and are distributed from the server 10 via a communication line. If it is determined that an image has not been received, the CPU 51 performs the determination in step S71 again. On the other hand, if it is determined that an image has been received, the CPU 51 moves the process to step S72.
[0217]
Next, the CPU 51 executes a process for displaying an image (step S72).
[0218]
The process of displaying an image refers to a process of displaying the image received in the previous step S71 on the display unit 54 of the mobile phone 30. In the image display process, as described above, these images are displayed on the display unit 54 in accordance with the switching timing determined by the server 10. When the process for displaying the image ends, the CPU 51 moves the process to step S73.
[0219]
Next, a process of determining whether or not the game has ended is executed (step S73).
[0220]
Whether or not the game has ended is determined by whether or not the CPU 51 has ended the process of switching images. In the error search game of the present embodiment, the time or number of times for displaying an image to the player is set, and when the predetermined time or number of times is satisfied, the processing for displaying the image on the display unit 54 is ended. To do. Thereby, the CPU 51 detects that the game has ended. If it is determined that the game has not ended, the CPU 51 performs the process of step S73 again. On the other hand, if it is determined that the game is over, the CPU 51 moves the process to step S74.
[0221]
Next, the CPU 51 executes image operation processing (step S74).
[0222]
As described above, the image operation process is a process that is performed because the display screen corresponding to the display unit 54 of the mobile phone 30 is small in order to play a mistake-finding game, and the player operates the input operation unit 53. Is performed.
[0223]
FIG. 20 shows an example of an error image displayed on the display unit 54 of the mobile phone 30. FIG. 20A shows an example in which an erroneous image is displayed on the display unit 54. As shown in FIG. 20A, a cursor 71 is displayed on the wrong image. The player can move the cursor 71 by operating the input operation unit 53 of the mobile phone 30, and can further enlarge and display the screen near the cursor 71 by pressing the input operation unit 53. FIG. 20B is a display example when the erroneous image is enlarged at the position of the cursor 71 shown in FIG.
[0224]
By configuring in this way, the error search game system of the present embodiment can enjoy the error search game even on a mobile phone having a small display screen. In addition, by making it possible to play a mistake-finding game using a mobile terminal device such as a mobile phone, the player can enjoy the game whenever and wherever he likes.
[0225]
Next, the CPU 51 executes a process for determining whether or not an answer has been input (step S75).
[0226]
The error search game according to the present embodiment is configured to perform the error search game using a moving image as described above. When a player inputs an answer of a game for finding a mistake, when the mistake is displayed in the video, the player stops at that portion and points out the wrong portion by operating the input operation unit 53. is there.
[0227]
In this step, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the player who plays the mistake search game has input a game answer from the input operation unit 53 of the mobile phone 30. If it is determined that no answer has been input, the CPU 51 performs the determination in step S75 again. On the other hand, if it is determined that an answer has been input, the CPU 51 moves the process to step S76.
[0228]
Next, the CPU 51 executes a process for transmitting an answer (step S76).
[0229]
In this step, the response data input from the player in step S75 is transmitted to the server 10. When the process for transmitting the answer ends, the CPU 51 moves the process to step S77.
[0230]
Next, the CPU 51 shifts to a state of waiting for a game result (step S77).
[0231]
Here, the “game result” is a result of the game transmitted from the server 10 in response to the player's response transmitted to the server 10 in the previous step S76, specifically, whether the player's answer was a correct answer. If the answer is no, the score is given. In this step, the cellular phone 30 is in a state of waiting for a game result transmitted from the server 10.
[0232]
Next, the CPU 51 executes a process for determining whether or not a game result has been received (step S78).
[0233]
In this step, when it is determined that no game result has been received, the CPU 51 returns the process to step S77 again and shifts to a state of waiting for the game result. On the other hand, if it is determined in this step that the game result has been received, the CPU 51 displays the game result on the display unit 54 of the mobile phone 30 and then immediately ends this subroutine.
[0234]
By performing the above processing, the error search game system of the present embodiment can be configured so that the user of the mobile phone can play the error search game anytime and anywhere. In the above embodiment, the case where the mobile phone is used in the error search game system of the present invention has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a mobile terminal device such as a PDA may be used.
[0235]
Further, in this embodiment, a mistake search game is performed using a screen on which a game downloaded via a communication line is played. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a game for playing a game without using a communication line. An error image may be created after a game is played on a machine (for example, a gaming machine installed in an arcade game field) to search for an error.
[0236]
